"The business and security benefits of GeoTrust Enterprise Security Center
IT departments face a range of issues—some obvious, some more subtle—when dealing with SSL certificates. These issues can have serious business and security consequences. GeoTrust Enterprise Security Center was designed with customer input to address these problems."

As in years past, 2017 was packed with stories of cyber security failure. Between
sophisticated attackers, lack of proper security monitoring and controls
implementation, and devastating data breaches that may have arisen from these
scenarios, it’s easy to see that we still face serious challenges in the security arena, with
potentially serious consequences. Why are we continually seeing these issues? Many
security professionals readily admit that we don’t have the staff, training and breadth of
coverage in our security controls to adequately combat the attackers today. How is this
happening when we’re spending so much money and time on cyber security?

Are your employees behaving badly?
Quick Fact: Only 11% of organizations continuously train employees on how to spot cyberattacks. Too often time, resources and conflicting priorities push training to the bottom of the list.
Check out the latest insights from the Cyber Resilience Think Tank to learn how to make security awareness a key facet of your organization’s culture. The consequences of not prioritizing security awareness training are real.

Learn how code signing mitigates the risks of transferring code over the Internet or wireless networks, as well as allows end users to take advantage of the ease and convenience of content distribution without worrying about security consequences.

Despite increased awareness and focus on defending against targeted attacks from both business and security leaders, organizations continue to be breached and suffer the consequences. Many of today’s security investments are simply not aligned to defend against these targeted threat vectors. Advanced threat detection and response should not be a point solution but rather a combination of technologies and core competencies. Detecting and responding to advanced threats should involve tight integration of multiple security technologies, network analysis and visibility (NAV) tools, the ability to automatically generate content such as security rules and signatures, context on attacker history, and overall customization and flexibility to ensure that the solution is fine-tuned for your specific IT environment.
